Having students determine key words in their research questions and synonyms for those key words provides some of those tools. Additionally, students need to think of some key phrases that will also help them locate information. This lesson is designed to help students develop this research tool.
The name glucose is from the Greek word for 'sweet' , which is 'glukus.' Glucose is a monosaccharide, which is another term for a simple sugar. It is one of three monosaccharides that are used by the body, but it is the only one that can be used directly to produce ATP. ATP is used by the body for energy; in fact, ATP is the only molecule that can be used for energy. Thus, adequate glucose levels are essential.
in the cell however this reaction is coupled to the synthesis of atp from adp in the following reaction c6h12o6 6o2 36phosphate 36adp 6co2 6h2o 36atp in other words the energy released when glucose reacts with oxygen is coupled with an endergonic reaction in order to produce atp
